You follow the block manufacturer instructions. 100-110 is too high for Robert's block.

It's really a simple process....run the studs in by hand, put ARP lube on the threads, on the washer and on the nut. Torque in sequence, in 3 steps. Robert's aluminum block is 90 lb-ft on the head studs. I torque in 30, 60, and 90 lb-ft steps.

I let it sit until after lunch, or the next day if I torqued them in the evening/night, and back them off one at a time, then pull to full torque value in one swing.
